Title: Ectonucleotidase pyrophosphate/phosphodiesterase-1 (enpp-1) as a target for the treatment of aortic valve stenosis and cardiovascular calcification
Inventor: MATHIEU PATRICK
IPC: A61K31/7076
Filed: 2009-10-22
Abstract: Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a chronic process related to a progressive mineralization of the aortic root and valve cusps. We found in human AS valves a high level of expression and enzymatic activity of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-1(ENPP-1), which correlated to the degree of mineralization. In vitro, inhibition of ENPP  activity with ARL 67156 significantly reduced calcification of isolated valve interstitial cells through a decreased production of phosphate. In a rat model of cardiovascular calcification, ARL  67156 significantly reduced calcification of the aortic root and valve cusps.  This is the first study to demonstrate that increased expression and activity of ENPP-1 promotes the mineralization process in AS valves. Hence, inhibition of ectonucleotidase may represent a novel target of therapy for this frequent and serious cardiovascular disease.

Abstract: Two or more wireless devices can be independently controlled by their respective users, a mixer component, or a leader wireless device to perform audio recording, convert the recorded audio into a standard or proprietary audio stream format, and transmit the audio stream to a server. The real-time clocks of two or more participating wireless devices can be synchronized.  A wireless device can insert timestamps into the audio stream to facilitate the mixing operation. Mixing of the two or more audio streams recorded by wireless devices can be performed by a mixer component either in real time (contemporaneously with the recording) or asynchronously with respect to the recording. The mixing can be performed in a fully automated mode, and/or in an operator-assisted mode.

Abstract: A floating separating element for use in centrifugal separation of components of a physiological fluid comprises a positioning part and a separating part, where the positioning part is designed to automatically assume a position in a supernatant and a separating part is positioned at a desired location with respect to the interface between the supernatant and heavier components. In preferred embodiments the physiological fluids are blood or bone marrow aspirate, and the heavier components comprise red blood cells. The positioning part comprises the majority of the mass of the separating element and is thin so that differences in the position of the separating element with respect to the interface are small compared to differences in the densities of the separated components, particularly the component comprising red blood cells. A  method allows red blood cells to move the separating element during decanting to ensure complete decant of the supernatant.
